Clinico-Microbiological Profile of Infections in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit : An Observational Prospective Study
2025
Overview
The impact of infections on ICU stay and mortality was studied by comparing the characteristics of study population with demographically matched patients without infections. Patients admitted to the Surgical ICU were included in the study and their demographic characteristics and clinical features (diagnosis, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE II score, comorbidities, device use, etc.) were noted in a structured proforma. Comparison of the two groups of patients by univariate analysis showed statistically significant difference in the history of diabetes mellitus, alcoholism, sepsis, immunocompromised state, immobilisation, admission due to roadside accident/ polytrauma, gastrointestinal perforation, diabetic foot/ gangrene and abscess/cellulitis. Majority of patients were males (73.6%), similar to the study by Baviskar et al (M = 76%; Е = 24%) but in contrast with the findings of Markogiannakis et al (М = 48.8%; Е = 51.2%).1121 Similar to the study by Alexiou et al HI diabetes was observed as the predominantcomorbidity in 33.4% patients whereas hypertension was most common in a study by Banan et al.!#! The majority of isolates were Gram-negative (83.8%) similar to data reported from other parts of the world.!°!
